Perhaps it’s the cold I’ve had for the past week, or the sheer mental exhaustion that comes with searching for an agent– but I’m absolutely beat. To celebrate, I’m hoping to to fall into a deep sleep this weekend where I dream of absolutely nothing.

Oh, congratulations, Anjali! My friend Carolyn Cassady has talked to me about Sterling Lord’s work with Jack Kerouac. I’ll have to tell her you’ll be working with Robert, who handles Jack’s estate now. I’m sure she’ll be as pleased for you as I am.
